Netflix’s live-action Cowboy Bebop adaptation has already set its main cast, but now another player has been added to the series’ already impressive list of performers.
According to reports, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and The Gifted star Elena Satine has joined previously announced cast members John Cho, Daniella Pineda, and Mustafa Shakir to play the role of Julia, a character described as “the dream-like object of Spike Spiegel’s (Cho) desire.”
Of course, as fans of the original anime undoubtedly know, Julia is also among a set of characters who knew Spiegel during his days in the Red Dragon Syndicate, and her inclusion in the live-action series suggests we’ll be seeing a fair amount of flashbacks.
Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec, Jeff Pinkner and Scott Rosenberg will act as showrunner on Cowboy Bebop, while Shinichiro Watanabe, the director of the original anime, will serve as a consultant.
